I'm sorry that need to ask again but I can't believe nobody know answers. Please help...


1. I have 20120606 firmware now and it work very well. But now I want to use external USB drive. Connect it to usb port... And happens nothing. Where in system I can view this extra storage device ? Need I some special settings or drivers for that ? I have an idea that it should be in mnt/SATA/ but here just empty folder not my device.

2. For some reasons when I use cable connection "google play" don't download anything untill I switch of cable connection and connect throught WiFi. It's very unusefull for me every time for market switch between cable/WiFi connections.

3. Is It possible to use that device in HotSpot mode ? So that WiFi be usefull to connect other WiFi devices throught mine ATV310 throught cable internet ? If it possible how to do that ?

Does that apply to audio over HDMI too ? because I could only get stereo for all DTS/DD and their HD versions.

The setting affects both, hdmi and ac3 connector, and in RAW mode you can experience real 5.1 Sound from dolby digital sources, but, no sound from DTS. The DTS needs a driver wich parses audio to digital output, on the other hand, if you have raw and play 5.1 with hdmi you can get beeps and hiss from your tv if it doesn't handle it. :rolleyes:

I own a Kenwood KAM-1 Digital Amplifier with full Dolby and DTS up to 7.1 or 7.2 setups. That is the equipment I use for testing my toys. :D

Hi all, I have prepared the patched version of latest update20120529_M1_4.0.zip firmware.

This new update package has:
-all improvements given by update_fingerprint-tweaks_and_market-resetter.zip
(see here: http://androidforums.com/4490184-post1451.html)
-a new default wallpaper, more "coloured"
-a new pointer, X-Steel Pointer, very "cool" created by JJ Ying

Install as usual, in recovery mode renaming the package to update.img, or using
the inbuilt Upgrade app.

This is the link to the file: update_20120529_M1_4.0_patched.zip

Hi Gio965, I am still on 2.3 and wish to upgrade to ICS. Is this a stable version, and can i directly update from the file you upload?

Is the the rooted version? If not, how i can root it?

Is the market usable?

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, I can't figure out how to setup the output of the box to RAW instead of stereo downmix (over HDMI), where is such setting in ICS ?
 
Does anybody know how I can decrease the sensitivity of keyboard and of mouse in Android 2.3.4 based firmware? I mean where it is in conf files.
I always have duplicated letters when I type.

external usb drive. first - try to plug it to one and another port. somewhere i read that usb peripherals must be plugged in second (near to back) port.
which usb you use? 3.5", 2,5". it is possible that you do not have enough power to boot it up, ergo, use power adapter for external hard. external etorage doesn't show all of file managers.
try with "and explorer". it is not so pretty to see, but it is showing external storage 100%. for es file exploer i'm not sure, but probably it shows also, only need to switch to it.
but, my favourite is "x-plore". esspecially for LAN/cloud storage. you have dual-pane screen, and all classic file manipulation tools.

cable connection. you need to turn it on first! settings and there it is. if it doesn't find it itself, than it is ok to set fixed ip address once for all. put it in same ip range as your pc is, no need to groupname, as is on windows.
it does work, i'm using it for larger file manouver.

hotspot. on my atv1000 - yes. don't know for sure for details, but i saw that option somewhere in menu (same menu where you turn on/off wifi, cable...)

Hello gio, I want to point an error I found, while it looks like it works with ATV1000, the market updated, the programs are available and seems to work properly, there is an error with handling the google market account, it looses all buyed stuff, maybe the problem is with the build.prop edition, or there is an error with the play store. On other hand the first time it got me a scare face when my WiFi stopped working and worked again after a full system and cache cleaning.

I got back to 20120111 firmware and added the permissions and standard framework.

Hi werewolferx, I have had problems with my internet connection so I couldn't access to the forum.
The issue that you noticed, probably, could be related more to the new build.prop than to
latest play store or added framework files.
I have not any bought app from market, so I can't test your issue...
If you are interested to latest play store and if you want to test, I can prepare a new update package
with original 20120111 build.prop or modified (only fingerprint line)...which of them?
Let me know.

Hi thegreat83, I answer "yes" to all your questions...
If you should not be satisfied, you can always revert to 2.3 gingerbread.
Good ICS!!

The basic issue faced is unable to run Android Market or Google Play.
Every time i start, it gives an error saying "The application google play store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly" Force Close.
Can anyone help me with solving this problem?

Also is there a need to upgrade the android version? How should i be doing that?
I would also need the exact process to upgrade the firmware.

Thanks in Advance.

Speacking about cable connection I may be with my bed english was write something wrong. Problem not with internet via cable... all work fine I can use browse email skype and all other internet access programms. Except google play. It doesn't work throught cable but only throught wifi.

By the way why can't be switched on Cable and WiFi simultaniously ?

hm... strange problem. i'm using cable and/or wifi, and GP works ok. at this moment i really can't find any idea where could be problem. do you have stock rom? did you do some tweaks (fingerprint, permissions...)? which version of GP do you have? did you try (via menu-applications-manage) to uninstall updates or symply reinstall GP? in this time i'm at this topic there wasn't souch problem... :confused:

apropos wifi-cable in same time-i don't know! ;-) yes, i also think about that in first days, and simply accepted that. altough, i think that there will be hard to divide which apps/processes will use wifi and which cable, and there will be more process collisions. so, we must accept that. ;)

Question for those familiar with firmware upgrade.
What can happen if we take firmware from another product like atv1000?
Can we destroy the box?
Can we flash original firmware back?
Can we put this firmware XIOS_DS-GB-042812 (Android 2.3.4) on our box?
Click to expand...
You can not destroy but it will mak some trouble to you if you flash wrong firmware, and you can flash it back

Hello gio965.
I need your advice on Geniatech Device (Mostly ATV510B). How do i update my device to the latest version of Android.
Please check the details below.

maybe that is problem. MAYBE!! i'm really not sure.
try to add this update from gio's post

you'll have full access to google play, additional permissions etc, but, that can and can't solve your problem.

in any case, if problem persist, you'll have more operational OS!

and, as final option, you can reset box to original state and start all over. i know that is pain in the ass, but, sometime is better that way than building OS from scratches.
 
i have got iplayer to work, but only when i connect wireless, if i set the box to ethernet, it just sits there loading, i have tryed the setting in iplayer but nothing in there, you tube, play store works fine in lan mode, but not iplayer, i have the sumvision nano, but with the Geniatech 4.0 firmware on it.

any ideas

Hello Gio, only one error in your update, the file android.hardware.nfc.xml has to be removed from permissions for the market to work properly without errors (like trying to access apps in market and fully closing down). ;)

That seems to be all, the buyed apps are there, all installed and previously installed, all working apps and market freely. :D

Thanks for your support gio. You just have to make that change to make your update fully compatible with Geniatech ATV devices. :)
